He will be benched again ..bad news for the lad , he was doing well at Hull. Pity they didnt try to buy him.
Looks like Steve Finnan will be going to Hull

Dunno if anyone has mentioned it yet, but Kevin Kilbane has joined Hull city for about €1 million from Wigan. He had recently dropped out of favor under Stevie Bruce, and to be fair, when you watch Wigan now, you cant say it's a bad move. Good that he is still in the Premiership though.
Owls sign Wolves' Potter on loan
Potter played 17 times for Liverpool as a youngster. Sheffield Wednesday have signed Wolves midfielder Darren Potter on loan for the rest of the season.
The 25-year-old former Liverpool player, who has won five caps for the Republic of Ireland, has not played one first-team game for Wolves this season.
Liverpool-born Potter told BBC Radio Sheffield: "I'm really looking forward to the challenge here. I need games and this seems like a great club.
"Hopefully I can get a few goals whilst I am here."
Meanwhile, Owls boss Brian Laws has told BBC Radio Sheffield he is hopeful that Stoke City defender Lewis Buxton's loan can be extended until May.
Laws added that he would like to bring in a striker but that depends on reducing his squad first.
...and scores :D
Seamus Coleman (Sligo Rovers) to Everton according to BBC Ceefax.
Did you see the game? I saw he hit the bar as well. Darren Randolph was in nets for Charlton and was dreadful. At fault for first 3 goals and gave away a free with a wild rush from his line and was lucky not to get a red. I have grave doubts about Randolph despite what the FAI says about him.Quote:

Moyes has been watching Coleman for months and was helped by the fact that Sligo boss Willie McStay is an old Celtic team-mate of his - with the Scot coming over to sort out the move last week.
isnt paul cooks sligo manager?
Yeah they were only out by 15 years
Burnley trying to push through a loan move for Darren O'Dea before the game against Spurs on Wednesday: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/footba...5875-21053173/
No, didn't see it. Haven't even seen the goals yet. Goals will be on later this evening on Sky. Hope it works out for Potter.Quote:

Jay Tabb to Reading, according to bbc, sounds great and may give another option.
Jay Tabb gone to Reading.Always fancied him as a player his size is against him though.
Could mean Stephen Hunt is on the way out of Reading?
Today's 'latest':
Newcastle's Shay Given could be taking his goalkeeper gloves to Manchester City. (Daily Star and The Sun)
Burnley want to sign Celtic defender Darren O'Dea on a loan deal. (Scottish Sun)
could be a good move, would love to see O'Dea getting some regular game time...
Billy Clarke has gone on loan to Northampton for a month...
Needs to sign today if he wants to get a game against Spurs tomorrow.Quote:

Kevin Moran confirms it.
Article from Celtic fan about the move
O'Dea should be playing for Celtic, not Burnley
AFAIK Moran is his agent, so I'd take that as read
UK Times says Jay Tabb has joined Reading for an undisclosed fee. Good player, good move if true.
Wolves could try to hijack O'Dea's move to Burnley right at the death. With Mancienne gone back to Chelsea, they're short of cover at centre half
Coppell is a shrewd judge of player and has done more to develop Irish talent in the last few years than anyone at the FAI. Tabb is a very clever, technically gifted player, but I wonder whether anyone associated with the management of the international team even knows who he is.Quote:

While I know what you're saying Brian, you've got to keep in mind that the English league transfer record for a keeper was just recently broken with Sunderland's signing of Craig Gordon at 10 million pounds.
While there's no question that Given is a far superior keeper to Craig Gordon, the fact remains that goalkeepers have low transfer values in England for whatever reason.
With that in mind, and his injury problems last year, I'd probably say anything in double digits will be taken into consideration by Newcastle if Shay really does want out.
Preston are weighing up a £1m move for Stockport winger Anthony Pilkington, who is also being watched by Wigan and Bolton. (The Sun)
Scored a couple at the weekend. Did he get a B cap during the Staunton era?Quote:

Skysports.com has Hunt on the main page saying Reading have agreed to sell him to Wigan for 5 million....I guess they just need to agree personal terms and the deal is on.
Didn't quite make the step up expected.Quote:

As revealed by skysports.com earlier this week Huddersfield had lined up a move for Pilkington to bolster their attacking options.
Pilkington has agreed a three-and-a-half year contract to join the Terriers from Stockport County, while Ainsworth will move from Watford on a two-and-a-half year deal.
The League One club will pay undisclosed fees for the midfield duo and manager Lee Clark is delighted with his double swoop.
"They fill the criteria I set out for players being young, hungry and good footballers," Clark told the club's official website.
Strachan won't let O'Dea go until he has assurance that Kennedy will be fit.
"I am very sympathetic to Daren.
"He needs games now and has been inspirational in training. But we have a lot of games to play.
"If we can help him to bring his career on, then we will."
It's just a pity Strachan is so intent on this left sided, right sided thing. O'Dea is only up for one position and that's McManus' spot. The captain and a player who's never injured.
